Start-Up & Operation
Prior to Start-Up
NOTE - If it is necessary to perform a pressure test, prior to initial use to ensure plumbing system is functioning properly,
then the following criteria should be maintained for this test:
1. Have a professional perform this test.
2. Ensure all Hayward pump and system components are removed from system prior to performing test.
Starting/Priming the Pump
Rotate strainer cover counter clockwise to remove. Fill strainer housing with water to suction pipe level. Replace strainer
cover, rotate clockwise and hand tighten. If water leakage occurs from anywhere on the pump or filter, DO NOT start the
pump. If no leakage occurs, stand at least 10 feet from pump and/or filter and proceed with starting the pump.
WARNING
water) is discharged from valve. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury.
CAUTION
the mechanical shaft seal. NEVER run pump dry. Running pump dry may damage seals, causing leakage, flooding, and
voids warranty. Fill strainer housing with water before starting motor.
CAUTION
damage pump and voids warranty.
CAUTION
1. STOP PUMP before proceeding.
2. CLOSE VALVES in suction and outlet pipes.
3. RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and piping system using filter manual air relief valve. See filter
owner's manual for more details.
4. If water source is higher than the pump, pump will prime itself when suction and outlet valves are opened. If
water source is lower than the pump, unscrew and remove strainer cover; fill strainer housing with water.
5. Clean and lubricate strainer cover O-ring with "Jack's 327" if necessary.
6. Replace strainer cover on strainer housing; turn clockwise to tighten cover.
NOTE - Tighten strainer cover lock ring by hand only (no wrenches).
Turn on power and wait for pump to prime, which may take up to twenty (20) minutes. Priming time will depend on vertical
length of suction lift and horizontal length of suction pipe. If pump does NOT prime within twenty (20) minutes, stop motor
and determine cause. Be sure all suction and discharge valves are open when pump is running. See Troubleshooting Guide.

WARNING
If circulation equipment must remain in the plumbing system during water
pressure test, do not apply more than 10 psi pressure to the system. Be sure water pressure has been
released, using the filter manual air relief valve, before removing pump strainer cover.

WARNING
All suction and discharge valves MUST be OPEN, as well as filter air relief
valve (if available) on filter, when starting the circulating pump system. Failure to do so could result in
severe personal injury.
